ISO Consultants Embrace Changes to Long Held Standards

Montebello, United States - October 22, 2015 /PressCable/

American Quality Management (AQM), an ISO consulting and auditing firm located in Los Angeles California, has been working overtime to prepare for the moment when ISO 9001:2015 would officially replace the long held 2008 version. Serving companies both globally and locally, AQM is a recognized leader in quality management systems implementation whose business model involves working as partners with small and medium sized businesses who wish to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction. With the updated standards recently going into effect this September, AQM has experienced an influx of demand to put their expertise to work helping organizations adapt to the newest version.

According to Connie Smith, President of AQM, the standard has been revised because “the challenges faced by businesses are much different nowadays, and ISO 9001 has been updated to take these differences into account. Thanks in part to advances in technology, communications, and global trade, our world has become closer than ever while forcing increasingly complex supply chains to manage the process of bringing goods, parts and services to market. We live in an information age where the feedback loop between consumer and supplier takes place instantaneously through tweets and Facebook likes, and due to this heightened rhythm consumers play a more significant role than ever before. The pace of business is simply faster and more aggressive than it’s ever been, and it shows no signs of slowing down either. The primary reason for this revision was to account for how much the world has changed in the span of the past seven years and just how significant those changes have fundamentally been.“

Organizations wishing to maintain their certification status will be required to upgrade to the 2015 standard though there is a three year grace period to officially transition and make the move. By the end of September 2018 though, the 2008 version will be obsolete. In spite of that three year window, AQM has experienced increased demand for their consulting services, especially from businesses in competitive sectors where smart business owners see this as an opportunity to gain an early competitive advantage.
